2 Memorable Moments Welcome Since welcoming our first guests in 1947 there have been many changes and the Langstone Cliff now offers 64 ensuite bedrooms and a host of facilities that our earliest guests would surely have welcomed. The hotel is still owned and managed by the Rogers family generations two and three and, believe it or not, still visited by some of the guests whom we hosted over fifty years ago. It is particularly gratifying that over 80% of our guests pay us return visits. And this incredible loyalty is not just confined to our guests. We are proud to say that the vast majority of our staff also acquire the Langstone Habit and combine with the Family to offer a friendly attentive and very sincere welcome. 2 3 Page 2 Page 3

3 Restaurants... And Bars The Lincoln Restaurant and Bar, right at the heart of the Hotel, are open all day and every day throughout the year. The extensive Breakfast menu ensures a great start to the day. Traditional Sunday Lunch is always available on Sundays and indeed it is available, to order, every day of the week, but with so much to do and see you may prefer to avail yourself of the coffee shop style service which offers anything from coffee and a Danish pastry through to a selection of hot and cold light meals, a range of sandwiches and baguettes and of course the quintessential Devonshire Cream Tea. Dinner offers a table d hote menu with a wide choice of dishes at each course and a very popular carvery option. There are always vegetarian dishes available and special dietary requirements can invariably be met. Typical menus can be found on our website. The bars are friendly chatty places offering all you would expect, a range of draught, beers, lagers, and ciders including a selection of real ales. The wine list has a well balanced selection of about 50 bins from all parts of the world, all sensibly priced and maintained at the correct temperature, with a wide selection available by the glass. 4 5 Page 4 Page 5

5 Exercise... or Just Relax The grounds are expansive, varied, well cared for and attractive with spectacular Sea Views. Doing little or nothing is decidedly tempting. Should you decide to stir yourself we offer both heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a hard tennis court, full sized snooker table and table tennis. Adjoining the indoor pool is a compact leisure area offering a wide range of therapies and treatments, a small gym with a selection or cardio-vascular units and a unisex hairdressing salon. 8 9 Page 8 Page 9

6 Fun for The Children... Indoors and Out The indoor and outdoor pools, an outdoor multi-play unit and a toddler room ensure that the younger ones are kept amused. A table tennis room, snooker room and a hard tennis court are available for the older children Mums and Dads too, of course! The extensive grounds offer endless play opportunities and one of the best beaches in the West Country is just a few hundred metres away. Traditionally the Langstone Cliff has been, and still is, a Family Hotel welcoming children of all ages. The 19 acre grounds with direct footpath to the beaches offers a particularly safe environment and the spaciousness of both hotel and grounds ensures that the children need never be under your feet. During the school holiday periods we have regular visits from specialised children s entertainers. Pre-dinner children s suppers are available the dinner or supper option is entirely at parent s discretion and we keep a limited range of baby foods and cereals for our youngest guests. Baby listening is available in all rooms and there are ample high chairs and cots Page 10 Page 11

7 Spectacular Views Spectacular Sunrises Without a doubt the hotel is magnificently situated and enjoys marvellous views over the lawns to the sea and the red cliffs of East Devon. The Victorian Verandah is a fine place to enjoy a drink and a natter or just gaze out to sea. And in the cooler months or if the weather is not so good there are comfortable lounges overlooking the sea and welcoming bars. Guests have often commented as soon as we arrived we felt at home. Well, who are we to argue with that!? Page 12 Page 13

8 Entertainment for all Entertainment for all The Washington Ballroom is one of Devon s premier venues for dinner, dance and cabaret evenings, and a full and varied programme is presented throughout the year. For a change of mood, we also present entertainment in the Lincoln Ballroom. For small, intimate parties we have a portable dance floor that we can pop down anywhere (well almost!) There is dancing most Saturdays during the holiday periods and a comprehensive programme of children s entertainment is presented throughout the school holidays. Langstone Specials We are proud of our Langstone Specials, these are dinner, dance and cabaret evenings presented regularly throughout the year and invariably offered as a weekend package. We try to offer the widest possible variety of entertainment, some household names, some you may not have heard of but always of high quality. Full details are to be found in the separate Langstone Specials brochure. Christmas, New Year and Easter are especially popular. All the traditional elements are maintained, everyone at the Langstone Cliff believes in Father Christmas, loves crackers and pantomime, indeed there is a full professional pantomime presented at the hotel each year in December between Christmas and New Year. We sing Auld Lang Syne with Devonshire accents and nobody dare say that Easter Eggs are fattening! Once again there is a separate brochure Page 14 Page 15

9 Leisurely Lounges Around and About Here in the hotel we have a comprehensive tourist information centre with quite literally hundreds of places to visit, things to see, things to do, attractions for the kids, heritage sites, historic properties the list goes on and on. You could stay a whole year and not visit the same attraction twice go on, try it! Doing little or nothing definitely is an option at the Langstone Cliff Hotel. The public rooms are spacious, the lounges are especially comfortable and the bars are friendly. A half hour car journey could take you to the county town of Exeter, the Torbay resort complex or on to the fringes of Dartmoor. Make it an hour or so and you could visit the East Devon resorts and the Jurassic coastline into Dorset or in the other direction take in Totnes, Dartmouth or Salcombe on the tip of South Devon. An hour and a half takes you beyond Plymouth, into Cornwall with the world famous Eden Project or up to Exmoor and the North Devon coast. For exploring the South West we really are just about as central as could be Page 16 Page 17
